Description

AlF 3The catalyst based activation method and the isomerization method of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Technical field
The present invention relates to produce active A lF 3The method of catalyzer, active A lF 3The method of catalyzer and isomerization Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs).
The present invention is in particular to utilizing active catalyst with 1,1,2-three fluoro-1,2-ethylene dichloride (CF 2Cl-CHFCl hereinafter is called HCFC-123a or " asymmetric " isomer) isomery turns to 1,1,1-three fluoro-2,2-ethylene dichloride (CF 3-CHCl 2, hereinafter be called HCFC-123 or " symmetry " isomer) method.More specifically, the present invention relates to that low levels (is lower than 0.1% by making the HCFC-123a isomerization that contains in the 123/123a mixture obtain to have very, perhaps 1000ppm preferably is lower than 0.05%, perhaps 500ppm) the method for HCFC-123 of asymmetric isomer HCFC-123a.
As everyone knows, need there be a kind of commercial run, be used to prepare the HCFC-123 (for example, referring to United States Patent (USP) 5,600,037) that does not contain the 123a isomer as far as possible.
Yet, the commercial run for preparing HCFC-123 in the most frequently used being used for, promptly in the presence of suitable catalyzer, with HF tetrachloroethylene is fluoridized, product always contains the 123a isomer, its amount is from several thousand ppm to several parts of %: for example, referring to WO 95/32168, EP application 609123 (has also obtained 123b isomer C F 2H-CFCl 2, but amount is very little so that can ignore its existence).
Because physicochemical property similar (for example, 123 boiling point is 27.1 ℃, and the boiling point of 123a is 28.2 ℃) are very difficult with the physical method for separation isomer.
Having proposed several chemical processes handles the 123/123a mixture and changes into easier 123a and 123 isolating other compounds: for example, be disproportionated into HCFC-124 and HCFC-122 (United States Patent (USP) 5.414.167), fluoridize into HCFC-124 (United States Patent (USP) 5.773.671), dehydrochlorination becomes CTFE (chlorotrifluoroethylene), or the like.
Unfortunately, though in each method of these methods, the 123a isomer all is that tool is reactive in two kinds of compounds, and they do not have a large amount of losses that enough selectivity prevent the 123 symmetrical isomer of reaction along with the 123a reaction, although speed is lower.And, promptly enable to reach 100% selectivity, in any case 123a also will change into certain other compound and lose.
Therefore several methods of 123 that in liquid phase or gas phase the 123a catalytic isomerization turned to have been proposed.
Liquid phase homogeneous catalysis method is very effective usually in isomerization reaction, but also has several shortcomings, and wherein the most serious is, usually (for example cause low selectivity owing to forming several undesirable by products, referring to Jap.Appl.63-85175, Oct.16,1989); United States Patent (USP) 5,302 discloses in 766 and a kind ofly has more optionally liquid phase process, but the efficient of this method is very low: the best result of report is the duration of contact through a few hours, and residual have a 123a of 0.63%; More generally, compare with gas phase homogeneous catalysis method, the homogeneous phase liquid phase process needs more complicated and more expensive reaction product forming process.
United States Patent (USP) 5,600,037 discloses a kind of heterogeneous method, in the method, uses solid catalyst AlF 3(aluminum fluoride) be isomerization HCFC-123a in gas phase.Yet, in the patent of quoting, never obtain 123a and be less than 0.1% aforementioned target.
In fact, be lower than 0.1% product, need be in being lower than patent ' 037 embodiment carry out isomerization reaction under the temperature of temperature in order to obtain 123a content; This be because 123a be converted into 123 reaction be subjected to equilibrium-limited and isomer between the equilibrium constant help 123 at low temperatures, at high temperature help 123a.For example referring to United States Patent (USP) 5.302.766 (licensing to DuPont company), its result is confirmed by the data that the applicant obtains.
Therefore, in order to obtain to contain the product of low remaining quantity 123a, need carry out isomerization reaction at low temperatures; Yet, in this case, the very fast inactivation of catalyzer, it is short as to make us being difficult to accept to act on working lipe of steam: 123a changes into that 123 transformation efficiency reduces and remaining 123a in the exhaust vapour increases after a few hours, and considerably beyond desirable limit value: for example, this is disclosed in United States Patent (USP) 5,118, in 887, wherein in embodiment, only the transformation efficiency through 3 hours 123a just is reduced to 85% from 99.9% in steam; The applicant's oneself work has confirmed these data.
On the contrary, at high temperature inactivation is slower, but remaining 123a can not be lower than the balance limit: for example, in the time of 350 ℃, inactivation can be ignored but remaining 123a can not be lower than about 0.3% owing to the isomer balance.
At present, the applicant finds that surprisingly these problems can utilize based on aluminum trifluoride (AlF 3) catalyzer overcome, described catalyzer is handled in advance to use in the following manner.
Therefore, the present invention relates to produce active A lF 3Catalyst based method, wherein under 300 ℃~450 ℃ temperature, with air-flow to rough AlF 3Handle more than 5 hours.
When using the catalyzer that is obtained by this method, for example, in the gas phase isomerization reaction of Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) such as HCFC-123a, catalyst deactivation is very slow, regenerates between reactor only needs or ground.Active A lF 3Activity of such catalysts generally kept its initial level at least 10 hours.Usually its activity can keep 50 hours at least.In preferred embodiments, described active the maintenance at least 100 hours.In especially preferred embodiment, described active maintenance is more than 200 hours.

In the preferred embodiment according to isomerization method of the present invention, the Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) that is incorporated in the reactor comprises 1,1,1-three fluoro-2,2-ethylene dichloride (123) and 1,1,2-three fluoro-1, the mixture of 2-ethylene dichloride (123a).
In this embodiment, the 123/123a mixture that joins in the reactor generally contains the 123a of 0.3wt% at least, with respect to the total amount of 123/123a mixture.This content usually is to be equal to or greater than about 0.5wt%.More frequently frequently, this content is equal to or greater than about 1wt%.In this embodiment, the 123/123a mixture that joins reactor generally contains the 123a of 50wt% at the most, with respect to the total amount of 123/123a mixture.This content is generally equal to or less than about 20wt%.More frequently, this content is equal to or less than about 15wt%.
In this embodiment, except 123 isomer, the organic raw material that is incorporated in the isomerization reaction can also contain a large amount of different compounds, for example desired as by product in 123 production processes those of preamble.Have been found that these compounds do not have a negative impact to isomerization method according to the present invention.Be incorporated into organic raw material in the isomerization reaction and can contain the by product of about 20wt% and 123 isomer of 80wt% at the most usually.
Surprisingly, the result who does not find isomerization reaction forms difference and significant difference is arranged because of the isomer of organic raw material.Can for example, under corresponding industrial condition, handle all possible isomer composition of for example fluoridizing the HCFC-123 of production enough neatly according to isomerization method of the present invention by tetrachloroethylene.If because the content of 123a is very high and make 123a fully not be converted into 123 in the raw material, this can overcome until reaching suitable feed composition by the circulating path of adjusting reactor so.

Though the pressure of reactor does not have a negative impact to the isomerization of 123a, be surprisingly found out that the high pressure of appropriateness helps the formation of unsaturated by product.Particularly, when moderately being higher than under the atmospheric pressure when preferably under the absolute pressure of 2-5 crust, implementing this method, unsaturated by product CFC-1112a (1,1-two chloro-2,2-difluoroethylene, CF 2=CCl 2) formation a large amount of reduce or even eliminate fully.This is an ideal, because CFC-1112a is not only poisonous but also be difficult to separate with HCFC-123.
Therefore, the invention still further relates to 1,1,2-three fluoro-1, the isomerization method of 2-ethylene dichloride wherein makes to be preferably 1,1 of steam condition, 2-three fluoro-1, the 2-ethylene dichloride contacts with isomerization catalyst under the 2-5 bar pressure.
The specific embodiments of the method according to this invention is corresponding with the specific embodiments according to isomerization method of the present invention.
Illustrate the present invention without limitation by following examples:
The activation of embodiment 1-catalyzer
Utilize the general fluorination process (embodiment) described in the United States Patent (USP) 6.187.280, obtain 9.0g finely powdered aluminum trifluoride sample by fluoridizing of SIRAL  1.5 silicon alumina, being encased in external diameter is in the tubular reactor of 3/8 inch (internal diameter is about 15mm), with the electric furnace heating, and in helium flow, temperature is raised to 350 ℃.
350 ℃ through after 4 hours, the HCFC-123 that will contain 11.9%123a joins in the raw material with the flow velocity of per minute 2.1scc (the cubic centimetre number under 20 ℃ and the barometric point)/min (0.8g/h).Pressure in the reactor is normal atmosphere, and helium and organic overall flow rate are 7scc/min.
To the sampling of expellant gas from reactor, and utilize GLC to analyze; Detected flow velocity every about 40 minutes, show that 123 transformation efficiency increases, carry out that transformation efficiency reaches maximum value after about 9 hours.
Two kind of 123 isomer all is converted to several disproportionation products: at the subsequent analysis that proceeds to 9 hours is typical case's composition of product when reaching maximum conversion rate:
HCFC-124 *9.7 weight %
HCFC-133a 1.7
CFC-114 * 3.6
CFC-113 * 0.6
HCFC-123a 0.3
HCFC-1237 6.8
CFC-1112 * 0.1
HCFC-1111 * 5.3
HCFC-122 * 1.0
Other is 0.9 years old
*Mixture of isomers
Remaining 123a/123 stable content is about 0.35%, the balance limit when this roughly is 350 ℃.
When the transformation efficiency when 123 reaches maximum value, temperature of reactor is reduced to the ideal isomerisation temperature.
The isomerization (fixed-bed reactor) of 123a in the time of embodiment 2-220 ℃
Continuity embodiment 1 drops to 220 ℃ with temperature of reactor, and continues sampling.Subsequent analysis to products therefrom shows that the formation of by product is negligible under this temperature, and remaining 123a/123 content is low to moderate about 500ppm.
HCFC-123a 0.05
HCFC-123 99.1
The CFC-1112a No data
Other is 0.85 years old
Selection rate (recording according to 123 the mark that is reclaimed) equals 99.2%; Consistence ground obtains The above results in entire test (about 6 hours), and the catalyzer non-inactivation.
The isomerization of 123a in the time of embodiment 3-200 ℃
Behind the certain interval of time, proceed test, utilize He/123 stream to make its temporarily reactivate, temperature of reactor is reduced to 200 ℃ then at 350 ℃ with embodiment 1 and 2 same catalyst of using.Under barometric point, the air-flow identical with embodiment 2 joined in the reactor.
In 4 hours time period, product is taken a sample.Their composition is stable substantially in entire test, and analytical results is as follows:
HCFC-123a 0.04
HCFC-123 99.5
The CFC-1112a No data
Other is 0.45 years old
Remaining 123a/123 is about 400ppm, is lower than embodiment 2, and selection rate also is increased to about 99.5%.
Carry out the isomerization of 123a with the HCFC-123a that contains a small amount of HCFC-123a in the time of embodiment 4-200 ℃
Only the content with asymmetric isomer in the HCFC-123 mixture becomes 3.8wt%, carries out embodiment 3 (using as carrying out activatory raw catalyst sample among the embodiment 1 in advance) again; Do not find significant difference among the result, the analytical results of product is as follows:
HCFC-123a 0.04
HCFC-123 99.6
The CFC-1112a No data
Other is 0.035 years old
Remaining 123a content is very low and total selection rate reaction is identical with embodiment 3 in the product.
Embodiment 5-and embodiment 4 are relatively
With the identical AlF that uses among the embodiment 1-4 3New sample be used for comparison test: like this, with the 10g catalyzer identical reactor of packing into, and under 350 ℃, in helium flow, only dewatered 1 hour, then under the condition identical with embodiment 4, activate with the HCFC-123 air-flow down at 350 ℃, but only carried out 2 hours.
Cool the temperature to 210 ℃ then, the He/123 air-flow (contain 3.8% 123a) identical with embodiment 4 added in the reactor.
The transformation efficiency of 123a descends very fast, carries out the 5 hours content in the after product gas and reaches 0.26%, is higher than expected value far away.
Therefore, omission also causes the useful life of catalyzer short as to make us being difficult to accepting according to activation of the present invention.
Embodiment 6-uses the fixed bed reaction of pelleted catalyst
Use pelleted catalyst in this embodiment.This catalyzer is particularly useful for plant-scale fixed-bed reactor.
With 400g (375 cubic centimetres) AlF 3Particle is encased in internal diameter 50mm, is equipped with in sintering bottom (frittedbottom) and the adiabatic tubular reactor.In this device, under so-called " thermal insulation " pattern, move reactor, this moment, heat offered reaction raw materials in interchanger before entering reactor.
In activation and isomerization test process, the pressure in the reactor all is barometric point.
Reactor is heated to 360 ℃ in stream of nitrogen gas, at first handle catalyzer in HF stream then, removes HF with nitrogen gas stream again, activates 20 hours with 123 air-flows at last under following condition:
350 ℃ of temperature, 0.266 mole/hour of 123 charging (41 Grams Per Hour), with 21 standard liters/hour nitrogen dilution; Be 33 seconds the nominal duration of contact under 350 ℃ and barometric point; HCFC-123 contains the asymmetric isomer of 0.3% (3000ppm).
When being transported to same airflow in the reactor, temperature of reactor is adjusted to 240 ℃ then, realize 40 seconds duration of contact like this.
